Editor's Take
Best for curious kids who want hands-on discovery, not just gross-motor play, and for families who like getting a full museum visit out of one admission.
Best Fit
- Curious preschoolers and elementary-age kids who like exhibits and experiments
- Families who want all-day value instead of a short timed session
- Birthday parties with educational play built in
- Families looking only for climbing and big-body active play
- Kids who want a pure playground or trampoline experience
- Visitors expecting a very fast in-and-out play stop

$250Don Harrington Discovery Center is Amarillo's hands-on science museum, blending interactive exhibits, educational play, and a full-dome planetarium into a strong all-weather family outing. It is broader than a traditional indoor playground, but it clearly fits families looking for indoor exploration, kinder-focused spaces, and museum-style discovery for kids. The museum also offers birthday packages, recurring programs, camps, and free or discounted community-access options.
